Faculty fundraising for low-income students OK’d

Standing before the Faculty Senate, UW-Madison physics professor Dan McCammon said that supporting the faculty ‘s fundraising campaign to help keep the university ‘s doors open to lower-income students was really “a no-brainer. ”

“It ‘s what this university is all about, ” he said. “We help out what we care about. ”

It turns out plenty of others share McCammon ‘s view.

UW-Madison ‘s Faculty Senate on Monday overwhelmingly approved a faculty fundraising drive to raise money for need-based scholarships to the university.
